Capacitors, Equivalent Capacitance, and Capacitive Reactance

The insulating layer of a cacitor is called the 

• plate
• conductors
• dielectric
• terminals

The amount of charge that a capacitor can accept is determined by 

• It's capacity C=Q/V
• the plate area
• the dielectric thickness
• all of the above

A charged capacitor act like 

• a DC open
• a momentary open
• a inverse voltage
• a current source

amount of charge stored per unit volt

• capacitance
• capacitor
• dielectric
• dielectric constant

amount of charge stored per unit volt

• capacitance
• capacitor
• dielectric
• dielectric constant

What happens to the capacitance of a capacitor if the area of the plates is doubled?

• The capacitance is halved

• The capacitance remains the same

• The capacitance is doubled

• The capacitance is quadrupled

What effect does increasing the distance between the plates of a capacitor have on its capacitance?

• Increases the capacitance

• Decreases the capacitance

• Has no effect on the capacitance

• Initially increases then decreases the capacitance

What is the unit of capacitance?

• Ohm

• Farad

• Volt

• Ampere
